BOTTLEIFILLER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 3% 1913.

Application filed December 12, 1912. Serial No. 736,441.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THEOPIHL BEDNARO- WIOZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle- Fillers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in bottle fillers and is especially designed for use as a nozzle for detachable connection with the faucet or outlet pipe of the receptacle, containing the liquid to be bottled.

The primary object of the invention is to provide an article of the class described by means of which a bottle may be entirely filled without causing the liquid to overflow. This object is carried out by the construction described and claimed and as shown in the drawings wherein:

Figure l is a vertical sectional view of my improved bottle filler showing its application to the neck of a bottle. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the filler removed from the bottle. Figs. 3 and 4 are horizontal sectional views on lines 3-3 and l-l of F ig. 1 respectively.

In the accompanying drawings, the numeral l designates a portion of the faucet or outlet pipe of a liquid receptacle containing the liquid to be bottled and the numeral 2 designates an ordinary bottle to be filled. Detachably connecting the two, is my im* proved bottle filler which comprises a faucet engaging body 8 in the form of a cylinder having a bead 4 around its upper edge, and a hollow tapered bottle engaging lower end 5 having upper and lower external beads 6 and 7 between which is disposed a tapered rubber packing ring 8 for fluid-tight engagement with the mouth of the bottle neck. The upper bead 6 is disposed about midway the length of the tapered portion and above this bead is a vent or port 9 for a purpose yet to be described.

It will be seen that the junction of the cylinder 3 with the tapered portion 5 forms an internal seat 10 and removably engaged with said seat is partition 11 having its edge beveled to conform to the taper of the lower end 5. Rigidly secured in an aperture in said partition is a downwardly projecting thus allowing the air tube 12 which has its lower end curved aside slightly as shown at 13 and cut off on a line 14 oblique to its length. I also preferably flatten the lower side of the outwardly bent portion as shown at 15 in Fig. 2.

The numeral 16 designates a yielding packing ring, which not only forms a fluid tight connection between the faucet 1 and the body 3 but also prevents any liquid from flowing down or air passing up around the sides of the partition 11 which would be very undesirable.

By reference to Figs. 1 and 4 it will be seen that the tube 12 does not contact with the bore of the lower end 5 at any point, in the bottle to rise and pass out through the port 9 as the liquid enters the bottle. The double function of the ring 16 will now be clearly seen, for without it some of the fluid might pass down around the partition and settle in the contracted lower end 5, thus preventing the air passing uninterruptedly out of the bottle. When the operator notes that the bottle is almost full and he wishes to diminish the supply of liquid, he has but to place his finger partially over the port 9, thus causing the air from the bottle to flow less freely therefrom and consequently checking the flow of liquid. When the bottle is full he will turn the cut-off valve (not shown) in the faucet 1, remove the bottle and supply another.

All parts may be made of any suitable material and various changes in minor details may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as defined and claimed.

What I claim is:

The herein described bottle filler comprising a cylindrical body having its lower end tapered, the tapered portion being provided with a vent through its wall, a tapered packing ring inclosing the tapered portion below its vent, a partition having its edge beveled to fit the internal seat formed at the angle between the cylindrical and the tapered portions of said body and above the vent in the latter, a cylindrical packing ring fitting closely Within such body and resting on said partition around the edge of the latter for the purpose set forth, and a tube whose upper end opens through the center of the partition, whose body passes loosely out the mouth of said lower portion, and 10 whose lower end is turned aside.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
